Parents need to know that this movie is fine for family entertainment leading up the holidays, with cute kids and funny reindeer to entertain the children and an appealing if unbelievable romance to appeal to grown-ups. Big game hunting is depicted as evil and there are myriad scenes of lax zoo security in a thankfully imaginary zoo. Santa is depicted as real, even human, but there are no elves at this North Pole.
